Example project

Home: 1970s single-story brick house in Garland, about 1,800 sq ft

Area: About 640 sq ft of ceiling

State notice: None for a private home
Cost: $4,800

In this example, the owners of a 1970s house in Garland want crown molding in the three bedrooms and the hall. Molding sits best on a flat ceiling, so they decide to smooth the ceilings first and have the texture tested.

Ceilings and flooring

Garland’s 1970s brought about 23,800 homes and its 1960s another 13,900. Ceiling texture and old flooring from those years should be sampled before a remodel. Our popcorn ceilings and floor tile and mastic pages explain how the work goes.

Testing

With so many houses from the same era, one test does not speak for the whole street. Our testing and surveys sample the rooms you plan to change, so the report matches your house.

Rentals and apartments

Renters live in about 38% of Garland homes. Any building above four units sits inside the state rules, so unit turns and whole-building work start with a survey; see apartments and condos for how we run them.

Shops, offices and teardowns

Commercial space needs a survey before it is remodeled or torn down. Our commercial interior remodels service handles the survey and any clearing, and pre-demolition abatement does the same ahead of a teardown.

Homes by decade

Census estimates put 54.8% of Garland homes before 1980, most of them from the 1960s and 1970s.

The estimates by decade

Garland’s 1970s supplied about 23,800 homes, the 1960s 13,900, the 1950s 8,300 and the 1980s 16,300. Just 1.5% predate 1950, and seven in ten homes are one-unit houses.

Permits and paperwork

Garland’s building department can tell you what to file. Texas-wide, a lone house or any building with four units or fewer is outside the state asbestos rules, while larger buildings and commercial space fall within them.

Frequently asked questions

Should I test my 1970s Garland house before a remodel?

Start with whatever the remodel will touch. For a 1970s house that can mean ceiling texture, wall joint compound and old flooring with its mastic. A build year cannot answer the question; only a lab result can.
